JAMES KELLY RIDING WITH FELLOW FIREFIGHTERS AND HELP CAME VERY QUICKLY. THAT'S GO TO HEATHER. THEY WERE RIGHT BY HIS SIDE. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET HIM INTO AN AMBULANCE IN MINUTES. HE SUFFERED SERIOUS INJURIES BUT HIS HELMET MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE. A SNOWMOBILE STOPPED IN ITS TRACKS, THE FRONT END MANGLED BY A TREE. FOR THE DRIVER, IT WAS THE HELMET THAT BORE THE BRUNT OF THE IMPACT. THEY HAD LEFT THE LAKE AND HAD ONLY GONE ABOUT TWO MILES WHEN HIS SNOWMOBILE CAUGHT SOME SOFT SNOW AND HIT A TREE. HE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN. THEY ARE MANCHESTER FIREFIGHTERS AND JUMPED RIGHT INTO ACTION. YOU CAN KIND OF PUT THAT ASIDE AND DO YOUR THING. IN UNDER 10 MINUTES, KELLY WAS WRIST -- WHISKED AWAY. HE REMAINED ON THE SCENE TO INVESTIGATE. THE SPEEDOMETER AND EVERYTHING CAME RIGHT OFF. THAT IS THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT STATEWIDE. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY FOUL PLAY OF ANY KIND. IT WAS JUST A FREAK ACCIDENT IS ALL IT IS. NEW HAMPSHIRE FISH AND GAME SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN 14 REPORTED ACCIDENTS, TWO OF THEM WERE FATAL. OR THAN 2900 PEOPLE REGISTERED
